AdRants on Fueld Films and the New Denver Ad Club

AdRants and AdGabber on Fueld's film for the New Denver Ad Club:

Look, a bunch of douchey office cogs made of cardboard. Nice wicker basket, guys... We loves it for its hipster inanity. Dig it? Cool. Play the paper dolls game.

Just two days until the show. Get your tickets on regonline.com.

UPDATE: Andy, Pure and Cactus are all going to be there. So is Karsh/Hagan, where I work. And the Egotist, who I assume will be in disguise.

UPDATE: Photos from this afternoon's construction project posted on the Denver 50 Facebook page.

UPDATE: AdFreak also riffs on Fueld's viral.

More blog buzz for TD50

From Agency Spy:

If Cannes, is well Cannes, then The New Denver Ad Club 50 competition might be like Sundance - for people in Colorado that is... It's a free for all with judges picking what they like, just because they like it. Kinda neat actually. The fifty winners get placed in the Denver50 show book and that's about it.

And The Denver Egotist:

Hopefully, the work is stunning that wins. Hopefully, the judges decide to re-title the show The Denver 167 because they can't disregard a single entry in the mix. Hopefully, we'll have heaps of reporting to do when we're holding the winners' book in our hands in the coming weeks. Hopefully.

The DBJ on The D50

The Denver Business Journal:

The brains behind a new advertising-award program for Denver say the city's ad creators need to crow louder if they want the national recognition they deserve.

That's one goal of "Denver 50," unveiled this month. The project, leading to an award show and book displaying the city's best ad ideas, is being organized under the wing of the New Denver Ad Club, founded in April as a regional advertising professional group after the demise of the Denver Advertising Federation in 2004.

The rest of the article is mostly an interview with Norm Shearer and me. (Blush.) But it's great for the DBJ to give us this coverage. Since the article's print publication last Friday, I've received a couple calls asking me for more information.

More buzz for the Denver 50

This time from the anonymous but dead-on Denver Egotist:

Ideas are cool and this seems like a big one.

Adrants on the Denver 50

Adrants:

Well what do you know. Alex Bogusky Moves to Boulder and Denver launches a new ad club. And that's not all. Properly following America's march toward self esteem-fueled mediocraty where there are no winners and loser only proud participants, the New Denver Ad Club has kicked off an awards competition in which there are no golds, no silvers, no bronzes, no categories and no Cannes-like category shifting to please judges' whimsy.
